"'Levin Bros., the general merchandise dealers of North Sixth street, are preparing to begin the new year "by giving their business a big boom.

The catalogue svill be twice the size of the 1902 book and will equal any gotten out in this city.

Levins have been catering to the mail aider trade for some time and by means [f the new catalogue it is hoped to greatly increase this trade. The usual number of drummers will be supplemented by others it the business of the house demands.- Levins are strictly wholesale dealers aiul sell alf kinds of *eneiul merchandise.

C. A. READING takes charge of AMERICAN CAR WORKS, ry

SUCCEEDS MR. JOHN COX

Other Changes in the "Executive Force of the Plant are Expected in Near Future,

Mr, C. A. Reading of St. Louis, Mo., arrived yesterday to take charge of the local plant of the American Car and Foundry company as superintendent. He succeeds John Cox, who resigned to enter other business.

Mr. Cox has not yet made known his plans. Incident to the change it is reported that other chiefs of the different' departments -will be reduced or changed, as the trust has its own men tfiio are familiar with the plans and policies of the corporation.

LABORATORY ACCEPTED

BUILDING D. W. MINSHALL GAVE DE PAU.W UNIVERSITY.

CRACKS OCCASIONED DELAY

Contractors However, Explain That They are Immaterial and the Building is Accepted.

The D. W. Minshall laboratory building conuuittce of the board of trustees of DePauw university met at Grc-oncastle yesterday morning and formally accepted the laboratory building from the contract oxs. There was a slight hitch in the acceptance, which was caused partly by cracks that had appeared in the concrete over the iron girders, and particularly _at the door sills, but the committee was informed that these were unavoidable results of the use of fire-proof material exclusively. ^The structural iron contracts and expands with changes in temperature, and there is said1 to be a small amount of^Mfting of the parts.

il—l111

While the work on tlie equipment of the building1,is not quite complete, the part that is now being worked upon is being done by the university ami not by the contractors. The contractors have completed their part, and all of their elitiiiri on the^buiTcliiig will cease when a balance of a little over $100 due them has been paid. This will be done immedi&tely. The er ^f re regards the building as near per lev.'

iHHS 1? FORMER VANDALIA OFFICIAL g.DIES OF HEART TROUBLE.

EXPIRED AT LOGANSPORT

4^ •i o*

For Many Years was Master of Motive Power of the Main Line Here.

A Logansport special says: George H. Prescott died suddenly yesterday afternoon at 3:45. lie had not been well for several dajs, but his condition did not excite alarm. Dr. Hatch, who was called, pronounced death due to instantaneous heart failure. Deceased had: eaten a hearty dinner and was bright and cheerful up to an instant before he died.

He was born in Lake Village, .N. H., October 18, 1826. He came to Logansport in November, 1872, as master mechanic of the Panhandle shops, which position he held until the spring of 1882, when he went to Terre Haute to fill the position of master of motive power of the Vandalia lines. He returned to Logansport in November, 1897, where he resided at the time of his death.

Mr. Prescott leaves a widow, Mrs. Louisa C. Prescott and a daughter, Mrs. Mattie L. Johnson, wife of John F. ohnson.

PLANT PECULIARITIES.

Tbe Reason Frnit Bnthei and Viaci Are Protected by Tliorn*. Most persons think that the stem of a plant grows from the roots. On the contrary, the roots grow from .the stem. In the case of a plant that dies down to the groutid in antumn it is not the roots that send up a new stem in the spring, for a part of the true stem remains underground on the root crown, and from it grow up the bud bearing stems in the spring. When, a seed germinates, it sends the light loving stem upward and the dark loving root downward.

Saw off part of a tree trunk and you will find a series of rings from the center, to the bark, each ring marking a year of growth. But these rings indicate also -which of the seasons through which the tree has lived weiHj dry and which had plenty of rain. The rings are always of unequal width. The narrow ones represent dry seasons and the wide ones seasons when the conditions of growth were better by reason of plentiful rain.

Every rose has its thorn, and the same may be said of such fruits as blackberries, raspberries, etc., only they are not real thorns, but prickles, which strip off with tbe outer bark, while thorns will Jiot strip off, being hardened, undeveloped branches*- £.£

But #hy do bushes and vines lfave prickles? Many people w^mdw' at it, for they see no good reason* i/\f uch a growth. But there is a reason, as there is in everything In nature. The prickles are given to them as a protection against plant eating animals. The stems have a pleasant, aromatic taste, and cows and sheep would be sure to eat them in winter, when they crave something fresh, if it were not for the prickles. .v. .-

The Dwarf Palm of Alcerm. The dwarf palm, which furnishes considerable quantities of fiber, grows in great profuaiou in Algeria and Is one of the principal obstacles to the clearing of the land, so thickly does it grow and so difficult to pull up. Its roots, in shape resembling carrots, penetrate into the ground to the depth of a yard or more, and When its stem only is cut 3t sprouts out again almost immediately. As its nanse indicates, this palm ia very small and can only attain a certain height when protected, as in tho Ai*ab cemeteries, for example.

"I eeS financial troubl® ahead of you," said the gypsy as she scrutinized the lines in Softlelgh's palm. "What is the cause thereof?" asked the innocent youth. _./:)I see a dark woman," contlnned tbe |||aler in futures, "who is destined to cause you trouble in money matters." "As I expected," groaned the callow youth. "That washerwoman IS going to hold my laundry for ransom again. Oh, woe is me!"—Chicago Jx'evvs.
